Wright aggravated the groin injury that had kept him out for the previous two matches in the 4-2 win over Wycombe last night, while Jones was due to be taken to hospital after suffering facial injuries late in the game.

'Jonah took a boot in the face and then fell into the advertising boards,' explained Crewe manager Dario Gradi.

'His face was a mess and he was slipping in and out of consciousness and the doctors were quite worried about him.

It's not life-threatening or anything like that but I don't think he'll be going home tonight.'

Gradi added: 'David Wright has done his groin again and he is likely to be out longer this time.

'We don't have anyone who can play right-back like David can so we'll have to have a think about that but we might try something a little different there.'
